happy to be with my brothers for Christmas time, enjoy croatian tradition for this jolly december days, play in the snow, warm up the family house, cook delicious food, bake cookies, drink cinnamon tea, sing carols and watch great movies… <3

Im lookin forward to forget about school and celebrate new years eve like there is no tomorrow. And then thinking fml i didnt do anything about my school project.. and just drink again to forget about it.. no matter what, alcohol’s the solution. Im also looking forward at being able to just eat and sleep the whole day in my pjs while its snowing outside.

I look forward to giving… My time, art, experiences & creativity. It’s always good to step back and appreciate things that we take for granted everyday. As an Art Director I constantly strive daily to balance my interaction with (time), technology and the social world. People are so disconnected from the world’s environment, many don’t have the time to re-connect and be at peace.

I wish that ALL of you, have a wonderful holiday and fabulous new year!!

I most look forward to spending time with my favorite people friends, my favorite animal friends and plenty of our favorite food and drink in our favorite place … and NOT watching the time for a couple of days.

I look forward to the snow storms that blanket the dramatic mountain ranges and the beautiful aspen that make up this area of Colorado. I love decorating with the white christmas lights, drinking coffee and eating pumpkin pie inside of the beautiful cabin I share with my best friend all while enjoying that stillness and beauty that those snow storms bring & display from all the picture frame windows and warmth of our home.

I am looking forward to a beautiful heavy snowfall. One that forces us to pause our daily activities and admire the beauty in our environment. There is something about the stillness in the winter air that reminds me to stop and reflect and ultimately leaves me feeling recharged for my next journey.

I love hosting my annual pink holiday party as it brings together many, many of the amazing people in my life! I also love the spirit of giving and helping that shows itself a bit more at the holidays. Cheers!

Im looking forward to laughter with my family, baking with my mom, working for the Nutcracker by the local ballet, working the register at my retail job and hopefully all the compliments on my new eco watch. #wink #hope #wish Good luck everyone and Happy Holidays! :)

I look forward to watching A Christmas Carol and remembering that there is good in the world despite the news. Blessings to all that care for the planet, the animals and the other humans in need. Peace on Earth!

My favorite thi about the holiday season is the chance to give family and friends green presents to introduce them to a healthier, more environmentally friendly lifestyle. It’s also an excuse to educate them on why I bought them a reusable water bottle or eco friendly makeup! Or a Sprout Watch!!

What do I look forward to the most this holiday season?
Hmmph, thats a toughie, for as I learn more and more about our unsustainable habits and consumeristic culture, it is hard for me to sit still amongst all the greed and deception by companies who have made this once religious holiday, a materialistic celebration. However, I have also recognized the power of business to change the path of our world in a much quicker fashion than government can. Thus by voting with my dollars, I hope to spread joy to not only my friends and family but also those who create these products. Can any one say happy fair-trade, eco-conscious holidays?

I look forward to snuggling up with my mom and my cats by the Christmas tree, drinking eggnog and watching Christmas specials. Another thing I look forward to is taking pictures with my family and me in my Christmas pajamas, which I wear to keep me warm in the crisp, cold, winter air. I want to get gifts from my family and see the look on their faces when they get theirs. The last thing I look forward to is the fuzzy feeling I always get when Christmas rolls around. Merry Christmas!

I’m looking forward to giving one of these sprout watches as a gift (already purchased!) and to the first real trip in two years for my birthday (just after Christmas), which usually gets all shoved in with the holidays – not this year!! :-)

I look forward to family time. What I love the most is the magic of the season that seems to permeate everything from grocery shopping (cookie ingredients!) to warm cozy evenings watching movies with the people you love, a cup of hot chocolate and a few furry friends at your feet.

I’m forgoing the usual dinner/decorations this year and taking those funds and the time I’d spend fussing over my own festivities and donating them to help hurricane victims in my area, who can’t make that choice this holiday season.

After watching my husband go through chemotherapy treatment during the holidays in 2010 and 2011, I am especially looking forward to spending quality time with him and his family. Gifts don’t have to be involved, because I got the best gift when his doctor told us that he is in remission.

So unbelievably excited to see the smile on my daughters face. Christmas at 5 happens only once and I know she’s so excited and is filled with such belief in the entire holiday and all the good that it makes a believer out of all. :)

I’m really looking forward to flying back to my home country for the holidays after not having returned for 8 years. The majority of my family still lives there and it’s going to be bittersweet reuniting with them, especially the little cousins who were still toddlers when I last saw them. I am also strangely excited to make full use of Taiwan’s public transit system (and the bullet-train running from the northern end of the island to the southern end) after having lived in Los Angeles for almost a year and depending on my car every day…

I’m looking forward to time with my family and friends. This is the first Christmas without my mother who passed this past April.She was eighty-one. It will probably be a little bitter-sweet, because I have such fond memories of getting ready for the holidays with her…taking her to pick out a Christmas tree. She insisted on a live tree. Getting it in the stand and decorated. Wrapping gifts while watching the original Christmas Carol with Alistair Simms. After it stopped being televised or other versions aired, my husband found and bought the dvd. So, I will try to carry on some of the same traditions and maybe start a few of my own. Happy Holidays!

I’m so looking forward to this Christmas. My son lived in New Orleans the past 3 years and moved to New York about 6 months ago. It was far to expensive for him to come home for Christmas before but this year, he’s coming home! He hasn’t seen his first-born niece whom we welcomed in October, so not only will we get to lay eyes on him, he’ll get a chance to meet Dottie for the first time in person. We’re all getting together the Sunday before Christmas for a huge family portrait (our Christmas present to our family) and I can’t wait for all of us to enjoy the holiday together.

Looking forward to snuggle in the couch with a hot chocolate and a book, glancing outside to see the snow fall, and then taking a quick peek at my new eco-friendly-watch to see how much time is left of this peaceful enjoyment!

I’m looking forward to eating all the traditional foods and trying to choose which goodie to have from the cookie tray. My sister-in-law makes hand-dipped chocolate pretzels, Oreo’s, peanut butter cups and peppermint bark and my mouth is already ready to take a bite.

After losing my grandfather last year on my birthday, and my grandmother who raised me a few months ago, it will be nice to finally make my long trip to see my family for the year. Nothing better to look forward to than seeing your family that lives far away.

What I desire the most and look forward to is gathering with all my loved ones and family members and forgetting all the turmoil and past offenses of 2012, spending quality time with those close to me and enjoying quality time together laughing and eating and being merry. Spending time together that we hadly ever get to spend together and showing our love and care for one another, enjoying the company of distant family and friends is what I look forward to and desire most.
